1 teaspoon vanilla

1/8 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 cup currants

Amasake (Amazake) is a naturally sweet rice beverage sold in many natural
foods stores. Be sure to check the label so that you get the kind with no added sugar.

4 cups amasake

6 tablespoons kuzu

Water for diluting kuzu

A few toasted sesame seeds or roasted chopped almonds for garnish

1. Place amasake in a pot. Stir and slowly bring to a boil.

2. Place the kuzu in a small bowl and cover with water. Stir with your fingers until you can feel the kuzu lumps are dissolved.

3. Pour a trickle of diluted kuzu into hot amasake, stirring continuously with a whisk to avoid lumps.

4. Continue stirring until the kuzu is cooked. The starch turns from a milky white to a more clear consistency.

5. Spoon into a dessert cup and garnish.
